That book! Reminds! Me! Of! A! Fanfic! writer that abuses the heck out of exclamation marks and employs a rather annoyingly didactic writing style in which the characters are obviously just his mouthpieces for his viewpoints.

Anyhoo, glad to hear you have a degree. Ooh, shiny. :D

I hope that's a really old book, because nothing written in the last hundred years has license to be that exciting. Back in the day, those old guys weren't afraid of anything: I've seen 'em throwing in exclamation points in the middle of sentences, having a sentence run for the entire page, making up their own punctuation ... Crazy times.

Are you sure you'd turn a guy down for being invisible? That's visiblist. and think of all the awesome tricks he could do; you could develop a ghost fetish.

Omigod, how did I miss this?

Clearly, you're right. I feel bad for being visiblist, but we're only as bad as we're ignorant, and now I know, right? I will now embrace all invisible guys, so long as they're not Hollow Man, because that dude was creepy.

The book was published in 2007. It's called "The Perfectly True Tales of a Perfect Size 12" and you can order it for a penny on Amazon. But don't. I don't know why I bought it ... yes, I do, I was hoping it'd be fun and an easy read. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to enjoy those anymore unless they are ALSO GOOD BOOKS. I couldn't even read this. Sad. Considering whether it is better to be more knowledgeable if it means you can enjoy less books. But then again, your enjoyment of good books is probably deeper if you know more things about them, so it's a wash! And there's always bad TV to fill that void.
